Vegreville’s ‘Hidden Gem’ is located in a quiet cul-de-sac at 4801-61 Street.

There you will find well-appointed modern homes for people who are 55 plus. It is a peaceful and quiet area, and currently two-thirds of the property is developed, and to contact your local realtor for information.

The residential development truly is Vegreville’s Hidden Gem and is very private. The lots are generous in size and there is plenty of space to design and build your own custom-built home.

Marilyn Kurash was the first resident to move into the subdivision in the spring of 2009. “I heard about the development and I decided that was it,” says Kurash, who simply loves her home. In addition to having great neighbours, Kurash loves the maintenance-free lifestyle that it offers. A private company takes care of snow removal on the sidewalks and roads in winter as well as grass cutting in the summer.

“What I like about this subdivision is that everyone is very respectful of your privacy,” says Louise Fedoruk. All of her neighbours are kind and look out for each other. She also likes the maintenance-free lifestyle as it gives her peace of mind when she is away from home.

For Liz Yaremko moving into the housing development was like coming home as she grew up near Vegreville. Liz and her husband Tom moved here in May of 2019. “I just love it here. Everyone is so kind and friendly.” She was happy to learn a former schoolmate

of hers, Joyce Kropielnicki was residing in the subdivision. They have shared many laughs and cups of coffee. Joyce, who resides with her husband Ron said it’s like coming full circle.

Several of the ladies even worked in the banking industry. One of those ladies is Lorraine Sybulka, who was born in Vegreville. She lived and worked for many years in Edmonton before returning to her roots. She says it was nice to come back to Vegreville and reconnect with some of her old friends. She has also enjoyed making new friends.
